Alright, the republic DLC will be dropping on the 14th, and I was thinking that we could do a Crusader Kings 2 game following its release. This would need to be a regular and weekly thing at a timeslot most of us can manage, for that purpose I am suggesting that we have our first game Saturday the 19th at 5 PM EST. Feel free to bombard me with suggestions though, particularly if you think a later time on Saturday would be better. (8 EST is my other thought)
I will be hosting the game, and have all of the DLC's (and will be purchasing Republics once it is released) This includes The Sword of Islam, The Legacy of Rome, and Sunset Invasion (Let me know here if you all think that last one should be disabled)
We will be starting at the 1066 startpoint.
Here are some items you will need:
Hamachi - For connecting, because metaserver is garbage, and since I am at Uni, I have amazing internets, but I can't forward ports.
Teamspeak 3
For communication. The server to be in is 74.91.116.171
A mic is not necessary, but I will not be typing everything out over some terrible steam group chat
Mod
The minimod we will use; unzip to documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod
Some house rules:
No wanton killing of one another. This means no assassinating each other or each other's heirs for teh lulz
No faction hopping. If you 'lose' the game, upon the next restart only pick a character who is of the same rank or lower than your previous character that lost out. This means that if you royally up the county of Aargau, you can't just swap to Holy Roman Emperor.
No wanton warring or coalitioning other player for teh lulz. This means that if you are say... the Fatimids, don't call holy wars for someone elses places in Ireland because you can. This does not prohibit necessary PVP, but merely asks that PVP is kept to being necessary, rather than because you can.
Playing as another players faction requires written permission from said player in this thread, unless they have withdrawn or have dropped off the face of the planet as determined by the rest of us
If you have any suggestions for house rules feel free to post it here.
If you wish to reserve a faction go ahead and post it here. I would recommend though that if you are new or not particularly good at CK2, not to reserve massive empires.
Also I believe we should use the mod Flavorful Titular Titles, which adds in a ton of titular titles, and they are cool so give thoughts.
Post any more suggestions if you have em.
